Georginio Wijnaldum urges Liverpool to turn up the pressure on leaders Chelsea

Georginio Wijnaldum wants Liverpool to make a statement of intent at Sunderland this afternoon and grasp their chance to put league leaders Chelsea under pressure.

Liverpool are used to being the team who have to come up with answers, because five times in the last six rounds of Premier League fixtures they have kicked off after Chelsea have put a win on the board.

Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool may be starting to irritate Chelsea by matching them win for win and it is inevitable those at Stamford Bridge will be wondering how a 13-match winning sequence has not taken them more than six points clear.
